Most Expensive Coffee in Dublin City
October 8, 2008 at 4:34 pm
You’d think it would be in the Westbury, but no – number 1 on the leaderboard for Most Expensive Coffee in Dublin City is The Gresham Hotel on O’Connell Street. [Cue shocked tones from you all]
I kid you not.
I was in there using the 50% working wifi today. I ordered a cappachino (€4.50) that was so bad I had to return it. I honestly thought they’d just given me water underneath all that froth. Instead I ordered an espresso and it cost me €4. And it was served in a teeny cup. The cost per litre of coffee in this non hip and happening northside Dublin establishment must be higher than the price of petrol.
I don’t mind paying €4.50 for a coffee in places like the Dylan Hotel. There you have super fast broadband, lots of interesting conversations to listen to, and so much eye candy. Coffee is good, is served in an elegantly designed cup, by a charming waitor who smiles at you. [Not an oul sour Dub whose mind is only on how to get the 50 cent of your change into his tip jar].
